Chapter 731, Investment Sector
Yang Peng couldn't help but hug the two girls and kissed each other, and laughed: "You two are really amazing!" When the two girls heard this, they were really happy and happy.
Yang Peng said: "Then this matter is decided, and tomorrow I will convene the cabinet to discuss this matter so that it can be implemented as soon as possible." ”
Luo Yanran said: "The concubine and my sister have discussed just now, and if we want to donate our respective properties to the state, we will use this as the basis to form another state-run department. Ancy nodded.
Yang Peng was taken aback, "How can this work?" It's a pity that the two of you have accumulated over the years have donated like this! ”
Anqian said: "These riches, life does not bring death and does not bring them, why should they be taken so seriously? Luo Yanran said: "It's not necessarily a good thing to leave this wealth to your children and grandchildren, so it's better to donate it to the country, and always contribute a little bit for the eldest brother for Yanyun." Yang Peng felt unscathed and said with emotion: "I really don't know how many good things I did in my previous life, and I would get such a good wife as you!" ”
The two girls couldn't help but laugh.
Yang Peng said: "But the eldest brother can't let you donate all your family property anyway!" Seeing that the two girls were still talking, they said angrily: "Okay, this matter doesn't need to be discussed, it's settled." Luo Yanran and An Qian could naturally feel the love of their lover, but they were also annoyed by their lover's domineering. Luo Yanran said: "If we don't donate all the property, it will be difficult to take charge of this new department." Outsiders will inevitably suspect that we will take advantage of the opportunity for personal gain. Yang Peng said indifferently: "As long as you have a clear conscience, why care about what others say?" ”
The two girls were helpless, looked at each other, and sighed.
Yang Peng smiled: "Okay, don't think about this matter." Then he said in a daze, "I have to thank you for coming up with such a good idea for me." The two girls couldn't help but feel their hearts flutter, and Anqian's beautiful eyes were watery. Yang Peng said to Anqian: "Anqian won't go back to her dormitory today!" Anqian looked at Luo Yanran to see what she meant. Luo Yanran's heart was pounding, this kind of thing was still very shy and unacceptable for her, but when she saw Anqian looking at her with a begging face, she couldn't help but refuse, and couldn't help but nod lightly. Yang Peng was very happy when he saw this, but An Qian smiled charmingly. ……
The next day, Yang Peng woke up from a big dream, and saw the pink legs and jade arms entangled, and the tip of his nose was full of fragrant fragrance. Recalling last night's affection and tenderness, I couldn't help but feel like a soul.
Seeing that the time was not early, Yang Peng carefully left the entanglement of the pink leg jade arm, left the bed, and came to the front of the dormitory. After washing under the service of the maid, he picked up a steamed bun and walked towards the main hall while nibbling on it.
As soon as Yang Peng left the dormitory, Luo Yanran and An Qian opened their eyes, it turned out that the two girls had already woken up, and they were pretending to be asleep just now. Seeing Luo Yanran's first grace, Anqian couldn't help but feel moved in her heart even though she was also a woman, and sighed: "Sister is really beautiful!" The same is true of the immortals! My sister is the most beautiful of all the concubines! ”
Luo Yanran was a little proud and a little embarrassed, she didn't dare to look at An Qian's gaze, and said, "My sister has won the award, Sister Zhao and Sister Ye Yan are much more beautiful than me!" Annecy laughed, "I don't think so. If His Majesty loved his sister like he did last night, they must not have been treated like this! Luo Yanran was greatly embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Sister, don't say it, I'm ashamed!" ”
Ann Qian's eyes showed a narrow expression, and said: "Then what can't be said, big brother loves sister, that's a good thing!" Then he pursed his lips and smiled, and his beautiful eyes rolled, "But I didn't expect my sister to have so many tricks!" You can actually be happy with your big brother like that! ”
Luo Yanran was so ashamed that she pounced and reached out to cover An Qian's mouth, and said angrily: "Don't say it!" That's the big brother's doing, not me! Anqian smiled while resisting: "My sister won't let me say it, I want to say it." Luo Yanran saw that she couldn't cover the other party's mouth, so she reached out and tickled her armpit. Anxiden felt itchy and unbearable, screamed, and quickly fought back. The two women were naked and in a mess on the bed.
When Yang Peng came to the main hall, he saw that the ministers were waiting, and they must have been waiting for a long time. Yang Peng said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I overslept a little!" Everyone smiled and bowed together, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”
Yang Peng walked to the top and sat down, and everyone sat down one after another.
Yang Peng said: "I thought about the business side last night, and I felt the need to set up another state-owned department. The crowd whispered. Tang Shidian clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, this seems to be a bit of a suspicion of such a move!" Several people nodded, obviously agreeing with Xu Guanzhong's point of view.
Zhang Ping stood up and said with a worried expression: "Your Majesty, are we not doing well enough?" If we have any dereliction of duty, please punish your majesty severely! Erniang also stood up and pleaded guilty.
Yang Peng smiled and waved his hand, "That's not what it means." Your state sector has done a great job over the years and has not let me down. When Zhang Ping and his wife heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then they couldn't help but be puzzled.
Yang Peng said: "The state-owned sector has some inherent defects, as we discussed before, no matter what, the state-owned sector is always a state institution, and it has an incomparable huge advantage in commercial competition, which is not conducive to the development of business and other aspects in the long run." ”
Zhang Ping and his wife glanced at each other. Erniang said: "Your Majesty thinks we should do this, so we will do it!" Zhang Ping nodded.
Yang Peng said: "Although I can solve this problem with a forcible order, it will cause more serious problems. In business matters, it is better not to let the executive order interfere too much. The current problem in the public sector is the lack of a strong competitor, which naturally creates a lot of problems. In any case, private businessmen cannot compete with the state-run sector. It is therefore necessary to create a further sector similar to the State sector to compete. In this way, our market environment should be more fair and healthy. Your two departments compete with each other and promote each other, and you can develop more healthily. ”
Zhang Ping and his wife listened to Chen Xiao's words, and also understood his intentions, and felt that although this was more unfavorable to the state-owned departments under their control, it seemed to be beneficial to Daming. Zhang Ping clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty is wise!" The husband and wife sat back.
Yang Peng glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you have any questions?" Seeing that everyone had no problems, he said, "Since everyone has no problems, let's vote." Then he raised his right hand and said, "Agree with the raising of the hand of the new state department in the city." ”
Most of the people present did not understand the business issues, and only felt that His Majesty's words were reasonable, so they all raised their hands. Zhang Ping and Meng Yulou, three experts who had been managing Yanyun's business for a long time, also raised their hands, and all the cabinet members unanimously agreed to Yang Peng's proposal.
Yang Peng put down his hand and said, "Okay, since everyone agrees, then this new state-owned department has been established." I propose that this new state sector be called the investment sector in order to distinguish it from the old one. "Everyone agreed.
Yang Peng continued: "As for the helm of the investment department, I think Luo Yanran and An Qian are very suitable. Everyone was not surprised when they heard this, in fact, when many people heard Yang Peng say that a new state-owned department was going to be established, they faintly felt that the helmsmen of this new state-owned department would be Luo Yanran and An Qian. There is no other reason, because judging from the recent performance of the two women, their talent in business is very outstanding, even if Zhang Ping and Meng Yulou are probably inferior to them, there is no more suitable candidate than them at present.
Yang Peng glanced at everyone, raised his hand and said, "If you agree that Luo Yanran is the head of the investment department and An Qian is the deputy head of the department, please raise your hand." ”
Everyone raised their hands, but Tang Shidian did not raise his hand. According to Daming's regulations, major decisions and major appointments only need half of the approval to pass, so Yang Peng's proposal was successfully passed.
Yang Peng put down his hand and asked Tang Shidian, "Does Lord Tang have a different opinion?" ”
Tang Shidian said: "Luo Niangniang and An Niangniang are both His Majesty's concubines, they are in charge of the investment department, and there is naturally no problem with loyalty, but I am afraid that it will make people have bad associations." ”
Yang Peng nodded and said, "I know what you mean." You are worried that I am using this to turn the investment department into a tool for personal gain. ”
"Don't dare! Your Majesty is wise! ”
Yang Peng smiled, "Your worries are not unreasonable, but they are too worried." ”
Tang Shidian said: "The minister absolutely believes in His Majesty's character, but the minister is worried that the people will have bad ideas, and will also give some people with ulterior motives an excuse to spread rumors!" Like His Majesty, with Chai Niangniang as the head of the Ministry of Supervision, there are already rumors among the people that Xie is not good! When Chai Yonghui heard this, he frowned.
Yang Peng glanced at Chai Yonghui. In fact, Yang Peng has already heard the folk rumors, Yang Peng doesn't care about this, Yang Peng only wants to have a clear conscience when doing things, and he doesn't care what others say. Moreover, in this matter, he is actually selfish. What Yang Peng wants to do can be said to be a groundbreaking event, this change is very huge, not only to ensure that in his lifetime, the whole society can change smoothly according to his ideas, but also to ensure that he is not constrained by others in the initial stage, so Yang Peng thought of a way, that is, to let the people who are absolutely loyal to him hold the power and enter the cabinet, and his wives are undoubtedly the most loyal to themselves, fortunately, his wives are very capable, and it can be said that it is a matter of course to grasp the power and enter the cabinet.
Yang Peng did this, that is, to make the subjects accustomed to the rule of collective voting and deliberation, to lay the foundation for greater changes in the future, and to make his actions not to be constrained by the cabinet, after all, a considerable number of members of the cabinet are his concubines, plus the generals and ministers who are absolutely loyal to him, Yang Peng can absolutely control the cabinet and let the cabinet act according to his own intentions. By the way, the current cabinet in Bianliang can only become a left-behind cabinet, because most of the cabinet members either lead the army outside or serve outside. The Cabinet can decide on some things for the time being, such as the establishment of the investment department and the appointment of Luo Yanran and Anxi. After the passage of the Cabinet of Stay-at-Large, it can only be regarded as a temporary decision, and things can be done, but this is not a final decision. In the end, it needs to be approved by the plenary session of the Cabinet at the end of the year before it can be finalized.
Yang Peng said to Tang Shidian: "I'm very happy that you can say such things, a dynasty needs to be questioned for a healthy development." After a pause, "I don't care about gossip or anything. Lord Xu, do you think all my actions have violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty? ”
Tang Shidian thought about it and shook his head.
Yang Peng said: "That's it." As long as it does not break the law, then there is nothing to say. As for what some people think, don't take it too seriously. If Mr. Tang feels that this appointment is inappropriate, he can raise an objection at the year-end cabinet meeting, and if the meeting votes to approve it, the appointment will naturally be abandoned. Tang Shidian didn't say anything more, sat down and went back.
Soon after, the investment department was officially listed, and the two concubines, Luo Yanran and An Qian, joined the investment department. All kinds of resources are gathered, and all aspects of affairs are complicated and complicated, but the two women are full of energy and handle everything in an orderly manner. The idlers in the tavern teahouse talked about this newly established investment department, but the topic was mainly focused on the two imperial concubines, Luo Yanran and An Qian, more precisely, on the beauty of these two imperial concubines, and people were foaming at the mouth and looking very excited; There are also people who question the motives of His Majesty the Emperor to put the concubine in charge of the investment department, but this kind of voice is not the mainstream, but it reflects that there is an undercurrent surging in the Ming Dynasty.
For the time being, the gaze turned to Kyoto, the Japanese province.
Inside the Prince's Mansion, Prince Yonghito and several ministers close to him were listening to the report. It was a general who reported to everyone, and I saw him say excitedly: "Our army has found the new world that His Highness said, it is very vast, and I am afraid it is not smaller than the Central Plains region in the west!" ”
Everyone was excited, and Fujiwara said excitedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really like a god!" The ministers could not resist the praise.
Yong Ren had known about this result for a long time, but he was still very happy to be able to find it so smoothly, and said, "This is the blessing of Amaterasu!" Then he said, "Without further ado, since we have found a new world, we must immediately send troops to occupy it." Once the army has gained a foothold, it is time to emigrate there. The ministers agreed. Yongren immediately ordered Kazuo Ryumoto and Tadashi Honda to lead 10,000 troops each to the New World. The two generals stood up and bowed in agreement.
Yongren looked at Shigehiro Shimazu, the commander of the navy, and asked, "What is the movement of the Han navy now?" ”
Shigehiro Shimazu said with admiration: "Everything is as His Highness expected. The main force of the Han navy has been transferred to the trade route to guard the merchant ships to fight pirates, and now there is no Han navy army within 500 miles. ”
Yong Ren nodded and said with a smile: "Very good!" Let the Han Chinese navy go about fighting the pirates, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the new world in peace. ”
Yang Peng sat in the imperial study, looking at the report sent by the navy, his brows furrowed. It turned out that the navy said in the report about the recent situation. The navy has not been able to find any trace of pirates in the vast sea, and pirates still attack merchant ships from time to time. The vast sea is incomparably vast, although the scale of Yang Peng's navy is not small, but in this era of backward communications, the navy is really involved in such an operation, which really makes them feel a little inadequate, and the effect is very bad. The merchant fleet escorted by the Ming warships would not have attacked by pirates at all, while those merchant ships that were left alone were often attacked by pirates and suffered heavy losses. When the navy received the news and arrived, the matter was already over, and all the navy could do was clean up the mess.
Yang Peng frowned and muttered: "The navy can only play a protective role, and it can't fundamentally solve the problem." It seems that only by relying on Hua Xu to find the pirate's lair can this problem be completely solved. Well, you can put pressure on those countries in Nanyang to cooperate with the action. "Now that the Nanyang countries have paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has issued an order, and they dare not disobey it.
Thinking of this, Yang Peng immediately wrote an order, called a secret guard, handed the order to him, and ordered him to send it to the military command department immediately, and ordered the military command department to immediately transmit it to the south. The guards bowed down and hurried away.
Yang Peng stood up, walked to the window, looked at the autumn breeze outside the window, and frowned. Hurried footsteps were heard at the door. Yang Peng retracted his thoughts, turned around, and saw Jiang Li coming in in a hurry, and said with his fists clenched: "Your Majesty, Lord Dunan forwarded a secret letter. As he spoke, he presented a letter sealed in red mud to Yang Peng.
Yang Peng's heart moved, took the secret letter, opened the envelope, took out the letterhead, and unfolded it. The letter paper was densely covered with small letters. The small characters on the letter are all Chinese characters, but they do not make any sense of each other, as if many Chinese characters are arranged in a disorderly manner. Yang Peng handed the letter to Jiang Li and said, "Translate it." ”
Jiang Li answered, took the letter, then walked to the bookshelf and took out a thick book, and then walked to the small table. Yang Peng said: "Sit there with me." Jiang Li looked at the seat behind the bookcase and hesitated: "This, this is not good." Yang Peng stepped forward, took Jiang Li's slender hand, came to the side of the seat, pressed her to sit down, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a chair?" What's so bad. Jiang Li looked at Yang Peng, and then began to translate against the book.
Yang Peng walked to the map, looked at the map, and thought.
At this moment, Yan Ji, dressed in a samurai power suit, came in. Seeing Jiang Li sitting in His Majesty's place writing something, he couldn't help but be stunned. saw Yang Peng, walked up, hugged his fists; "Your Majesty, in accordance with Your Majesty's orders, we raided the Catholic temple in Bianliang City and arrested all the gods." Yang Peng nodded and asked, "What about other places?" "The order has been delivered, and the localities will take action as soon as they receive it. In addition, the Cabinet has issued an order to ban Catholicism at the request of His Majesty. Yang Peng looked at Yan Ji and said with a smile: "Hard work!" Yan Ji smiled charmingly, glanced at Jiang Li, who was concentrating on writing something, leaned closer to her lover, and lowered her voice: "How does Your Majesty want to treat your concubine?" ”
When Yang Peng saw Yan Ji's charming appearance, he had already moved his index finger, and after listening to her words, he couldn't help but smile evilly: "I'll come to you at night." Yan Ji's beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance, and she secretly pinched her lover's palm, and said, "The concubine still has something to do, so she has retired for the time being." Yang Peng nodded, and Yan Ji turned around.
Not long after, Jiang Li stood up, handed a piece of letter paper full of words to Yang Peng's hand, and said, "Your Majesty, the translation has come." Yang Peng hugged Jiang Li and kissed him, and said with a smile: "It's hard." Jiang Li looked at Yang Peng with bright eyes.
Yang Peng looked at the letterhead, and the number of words on it seemed to be only a quarter of the original letter, and he saw that the letter read: "The pirates were sent by the prince of the Japanese people." The Wajin Prince is preparing to occupy the New World, so he sends a navy to pretend to be pirates to hold back our navy so that they can successfully occupy the New World. ”
Yang Peng frowned and muttered, "Sure enough, it's a widow!" Then his eyes fell on the words 'New World', and he said suspiciously: "The Japanese want to occupy the New World?" Where is this new world? North America and Australia immediately came to mind, and he felt a little incredulous, and muttered, "Could it be that the Japanese prince wants to occupy these two places?" These two places are now very backward in civilization, and it is not a problem to occupy them with the military strength of the Japanese people. But the question is, how did the Japanese know about these two places? His heart moved, "Could it be that there are people like me among them?" ”
Yang Peng walked to the map, looked at the location of the Wa Kingdom on the map, and looked thoughtful. Jiang Li stood behind him, knowing that he was thinking about things and didn't dare to disturb. Yang Peng smiled coldly and muttered, "The Japanese are really scheming!" They didn't give up their delusions! Now that they've given us a trick, we're going to do it! At this time, the attention of the Japanese people must be focused on the so-called 'new world', and they can take the opportunity to send troops to destroy the Japanese state! Jiang Li's eyes fell on the Wa Kingdom, and she couldn't help but mock in her heart: The Wa people dared to scratch His Majesty's tiger whiskers, they were really impatient!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
